The film is a relatively faithful adaptation of the novel, which was based on the life of Belgian nun Marie Louise Habets. Latter portions of the film were shot on location in the Belgian Congo and feature Finch as a cynical but caring surgeon.
The paranormal world of nun demons, exorcisms, and possessions depicted in The Nun 2 is entirely fictional, but there are some realistic elements inspired by cases encountered by Ed and Lorraine Warren.
Did they really cut Audrey Hepburn's hair in A Nun's story?
But Audrey Hepburn, being a mature and modern young woman, didn't even wince much when her hair was shorn for the final scenes in "The Nun's Story.” In her role of a Belgian girl who becomes a nursing nun, the hair cutting is part of the ritual as the girl prepares to don her habit as a novice.
After Habets left the convent, she entered into a lesbian relationship with Kathryn Hulme, the author of "The Nun's Story", which lasted from their meeting in 1945 until Hulme's death in 1981, five years before Habets's death in 1986.
The Nun's Story starred Audrey Hepburn as Sister Luke. It was a critical and box-office success, and was nominated for eight oscars at the 32nd Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Hepburn's third nomination for Best Actress.

Is the nun's story accurate?
The film is a relatively faithful adaptation of the novel, which was based on the life of Belgian nun Marie Louise Habets. Latter portions of the film were shot on location in the Belgian Congo and feature Finch as a cynical but caring surgeon.
Audrey had a great sense of faith but it's true that she was not attached to any particular religion except for Pantheism as she said in latter years. June 5th, 1956, Audrey mentioned in an interview with Phyllis Battelle, “Two things I never talk about are salary and religion.
Sadly, The Nun 2 is just another failed sequel, although it had some great parts to it. At the end of The Nun, Maurice (Jonas Bloquet) is possessed by Valak (Bonnie Aarons), also known as The Nun. The movie picks up four years later after Sister Irene's (Taissa Farmiga) first encounter with Valak in 1952.
The ban was prompted by a viral tweet that cautioned anyone who hates jump scares or had anxiety to look away and turn down the volume when they saw an ad … with the volume being turned down and nothing else. The ad in question is clearly designed to freak out the viewer as much as possible.
While Valak the demon nun's first outing, The Conjuring 2, was loosely based on 70s reports of the Enfield Poltergeist (in which no nun was involved and an 11-year-old girl was discovered making banging noises with a broomstick to trick journalists), Cooper's 1956-set ordeal is, sadly, entirely original.
As you may know, Audrey Hepburn had two children — Sean Hepburn Ferrer, now 58 years old, and Luca Dotti, now 49. Although the devoted mom sadly suffered a few miscarriages throughout her life, the successful births of her two sons seemed to bring her more joy than she ever thought possible.
The “Audrey Updo” is making a comeback among American celebrities. This classic hairstyle takes us back to the chignon worn by Holly Golightly, the role played by Audrey Hepburn in the famous 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's. In fact the actress wore a high chignon with short bangs.
Irene uses the relic against Maurice, but he grabs it, causing Valak to appear. Similar to Father Noiret, Valak lifts Irene in the air and sets her ablaze. Irene does not burn as Valak realizes she is a descendant of St. Lucy, able to harness the same power associated with the relic.
This was revealed when the movie explored Sister Irene's heritage, and it showed she is a descendant of Saint Lucy. She then has visions of people in Saint Lucy's bloodline, and one of those people was Lorraine Warren. They might not be sisters, but they are both scions of Saint Lucy.
Irene, who has yet to take her vows, is chosen due to her proclivity for visions — a gift from her mother. If I'm honest, Father Burke is just kinda there. During the film he tends to just get himself into dangerous situations and does one important act near the epic conclusion.
This film is probably scary for impressionable teenagers, because it certainly isn't for mature audiences. There are descriptions of suicide, lots of blood, slashed skin, stabbing, dead bodies, burning bodies, a man is buried alive (but escapes), shooting, demonic possession and all that stuff.
As time goes by, Sister Luke finds herself under increasing stress, ultimately falling ill with tuberculosis. Not long after she recovers, Sister Luke is crushed to learn she's being sent back to Belgium as the only nurse qualified to accompany a VIP who has become mentally unstable.
The Nun 2 director Michael Chaves suggests that Lorraine and Irene are connected through a shared bloodline The Conjuring Universe, which is not just a coincidence since the characters are played by real-life sisters Vera and Taissa Farmiga.
"People think because she was skinny that she had an eating disorder, but it's not true," says her son, Luca Dotti. "She loved Italian food and pasta. She ate a lot of grains, not a lot of meat, and a little bit of everything." At 5'7″, Hepburn weighed 110 lbs.
During the winter of 1944, the Dutch famine significantly impacted her family in the Netherlands. Roads to her town were blocked and food supplies became extremely limited. Hepburn suffered from malnutrition, acute anemia, respiratory problems and edema that impacted her for the rest of her life.
In 1980, Hepburn began dating Dutch actor Robert Wolders after meeting him at a party. They were together for 13 years up until Hepburn's death at age 63 from cancer. As for why the stars never married, Wolders simply explained that they didn't feel the need to have a wedding.
